The first said "How's that son of yours getting on, Bernard?"
"Oh, very well, thank you. This year his company made record profits so now he's bought himself a country estate. In fact, he's given away his flat in Mayfair to one of his friends. What about your son?" asked the second man.
"I'm pleased to say, he's also doing well. He's just finished another very successful film and with the proceeds, he's given away his 2-seater plane and bought himself a company jet".
As the two men sat there, contemplating their offsprings' good fortune, another man joined them.
"Good evening, Bernard, hello, Geoffrey, may I join you?"
"Certainly" they replied "we were just catching up on news of our sons. How's yours doing, by the way?"
"Well, mixed fortunes really" he said. "Last week he confessed to my wife and I that he was gay. But it's not all bad news. He's made some lovely friends.
